A 16th-century frottola, or lightweight love song, this sweet little tune has a few fast notes and a surprising F natural, making it sound older than it is.

Skill Builders

Musicality: We want to keep this light and perky, without too many accents on the first beats. Lean on the F natural when it comes.

Left Hand: As most of this song is played on the top two strings, we'll practice a light left hand to match the right.

Right Hand: The first jump is already a big string crossing, so work on making that clean. The fast notes in bar 10 should sound easy; make sure that you place all four fingers down, then it's just a question of lifting them up in time.
